Mike's basement in Hawkins smells of old popcorn and the fresh plastic of new dice. The low glow from a single lamp throws dancing shadows across the walls papered with faded posters. Mike sits cross-legged on the worn carpet, a shy smile softening his features. From the battered sofa, Max lets out a snort of laughter, while Will watches with quiet intensity. Mike leans forward, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. "I like a girl," he admits, "but she only ever calls me by my last name." His dark, expressive eyes lift and fix unwaveringly on you.
